Add These 7 Artists to Your Eastside Culture Crawl Game-Plan

You can't see all 500 artists on the Eastside Culture Crawl (believe us, we've tried) so we've attempted to narrow it down.

In a season of wind storms and downpours, the Eastside Culture Crawl is one of the only things that can get us to leave the house this time of year—after all, when 500-plus artists open their studio doors to you, it’s only polite to step inside. This year’s visual arts festival runs over four days, but that’s still not enough time to see everything, so prioritization is key: pick a few favourites, then squeeze in some pitstops along the way if you can. Need help narrowing down the list? We’ve got a few suggestions.

The mixed-media artist and illustrator sketches quirky animals and big-eyed “queens” with plenty of personality. Bonus: there are actually seven artists working in this new collective (working in upholstery, mixed media, encaustic paintings and more), so you can check out even more work while you’re there. 580 Art Collective, 580 Clark Drive

The Eastside Culture Crawl runs November 16-19. For hours and a map of participating studios, check out culturecrawl.ca
